Copper Round Don't Tread on Me | Liberty or Death, 1 oz

Copper medal alluding to US symbolism associated with freedom.

The Gadsden flag, also known as "Don't Tread on Me," is an iconic symbol of the American spirit of independence. Its history dates back to the American Revolution, when it was created by entrepreneur and politician Christopher Gadsspen. The flag gained special significance during the struggle for American independence. Its presence on the battlefields symbolized the colonists' unity and determination in the face of British oppression. Today, the flag remains an important part of American history and culture, often used in the context of civil rights movements and supporters of constitutional values.

The reverse of the copper disc is reminiscent of Gadspen's flag - it depicts a rattlesnake snake with the motto "Don't Tread on Me" below it. This symbolic rattlesnake snake is a strong bit of patriotic symbolism, and the motto emphasizes an attitude of refusal to give in to despotism and loss of values. The obverse presents an image of the cracked Philadelphia Liberty Bell, under which reads the inscription " LIBERTY OR DEATH". The year in which America's independence was declared is inscribed at the top.
